Reviving Stale Saltine Crackers - A Success Story!

In summary, to revive stale saltine crackers, you should bake them at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes on a baking sheet. This method can also be used for saltine crackers that have been open for a long time. However, it is not recommended to use a microwave for this process as it can make the crackers soggy. Revived saltine crackers will stay fresh for 1-2 days if stored in an airtight container, but it is best to consume them as soon as possible. This method may work for some types of crackers, but it is best to consult the manufacturer's instructions for different varieties.

A while back I accidentally bought too many saltine crackers. Not a big deal, they are shelf stable so I took the extra boxes and put them on my storage sheves in the basement that I use for panty storage. My husband grabbed a box intending to eat them with some pickled herring only to find out they had gone stale. :( They tasted fine, but weren't crispy any more.

Instead of throwing them out, I spread them on a couple of stones. I then "baked" them at 250 degrees for 15 minutes. (I do not preheat my oven.) After 15 minutes I tested a cracker. They were crispy again.:) I left them in the oven until they cooled and put them in a ziplock bag.

I will definitely do this again in the future if I run into more crackers or chips that have gone stale. I'd rather resurrect stale food than throw it away.
 
You go girl! :D
 
Great idea! I hate wasting food too, so I'll have to remember this trick for stale crackers. I've also heard that you can put stale crackers in the microwave for a few seconds to revive them, but I've never tried it myself. Have you ever tried that method?
